The Boatshed small luxury hotel on Waiheke Island is just five minutes up the hill from sandy Little Oneroa beach. Its casual and elegant atmosphere works in perfect harmony with its seaside location. The chic, architecturally designed small luxury suites offer panoramic ocean views. All day dining for hotel guests is a wonderful way to make the most of the hotel's beautiful design, architecture, art and the local surrounds, as well as the beautiful bay and ocean views. Romantic luxury accommodation, beautiful grounds with private dining enclaves, a chef's garden and options for in-house suites or self-contained bungalows ideal for families or couples travelling together. 

The Boatshed started its life as the small Waiheke holiday cottage of designer David Scott, his dream of one day sharing this special place was realized with its perfectly executed transformation to what is now one of New Zealand’s best loved small luxury hotels.

Waiheke Island is an eclectic mix of vineyards, sophisticated and alfresco restaurants, holiday homes, artists' studios & galleries and golden sand beaches for swimming and seaside adventures.

The Boatshed luxury boutique hotel is just a 35 minute by ferry from New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland, or 10 minutes by helicopter from Auckland. Five minutes stroll to the local Oneroa shopping & markets - three minutes to the beach.
